Many school districts’ budgets rely on Impact Aid $$$ for staffing, supplies and programs. Let’s put students FIRST… all students including our military students! @NAFISschools

#ImpactAid is at risk. The Dept. of Ed reportedly eliminated most staff overseeing this vital program, threatening support for nearly 8 mil. students in ~1,100 federally impacted school districts. Read our statement & ask Congress to bring back the staff: https://t.co/pXQ0OgFE76
